This is one of many short video segments which will be added to the Digital Tipping Point (DTP) archive. Thanks to Thomas King, a writer for Linux.com and LXer, for doing the rough editing for this series of interview segments!

This 3:51 minute video segment features Brazilian entreprenuer Marcelo Marques, the prinicpal of Brazilian network security and training company 4Linux, as he takes the camera on a tour of his company's office in Sao Paulo, Brazil. This segment also showcases Marcelo's cheerful demeanor. Marcelo jokes in the elevator that 4Linux is a typical Brazilian company, because there are so many "beautiful women" working there. The camera follows him first into his sales department, where we meet Adriana, who is also the company ombudsperson. We then go to see the special projects room, which he says is relatively empty, because Linus is so reliable, and the special projects staff are out on calls to clients. We then go to the specialized support room and pass the administrationa and training rooms along the way. We meet Wagner and Caesar, who provide security support from the 4Linux premises and don't normally leave the company's offices. Marcelo then shows us a picture of Rodolfo Gobbi, the CEO of 4Linux, whom Marcelo praises as a "very smart guy." He thinks that his best hire in the last year was bringing on Rodolfo (who came over from Ciclades, a much larger Linux-based company in Brazil). He then introduces Mari, who coordinates training. Mari and another staffer, Luciana (the blonde woman) exhibit two stuffed Tux the Penguin dolls wearing LPI t-shirts and mortar board graduation caps.

These premises are also where 4Linux provides Linux ceertification training through Linux Professional Institute (LPI).

A close up of the silly and cute Tux with the LPI t-shirt can be seen here:

Tux is the mascot for the Linux kernel project. His image is seen liberally all through the DTP footage, as he is an extremely effective marketing tool.
